Thursday 9/22 I love the ivy on the old brownstones.  Friday 9/23 A needed drink on the plane home.  Saturday 9/24 Went to a birthday party for a 6yo.   He wanted a Tiki-themed party.  His mom pretty much rawks as she did this without a template. Linking up with Elaine this morning!

Sunday 9/11 A little reminder for myself.  Monday 9/12 Another reminder to have patience. Tuesday 9/13 Sweet Pea's school work. She did such a great job all by herself.  Wednesday - 9/14 Squaw Valley USA. Site of Tough Mudder NorCal. Thursday 9/15 Sweet Pea told me I had wrinkles when I squinted my eyes.   I told her she did too.  Friday 9/16 The sun on Lake Tahoe on our way to spend the night in prep for Tough Mudder.  Saturday 9/17 Tough Mudder finisher.   It only took 7 hours to complete.  At least 5 of those hours with a broken ankle.  Read about my stupidity  determination to finish here. Also linking up to Elaine today!

Well, here we are at the end of another challenge.  We Burst into Summer, and I sure hope that everyone is ending the summer a little healthier, maybe a little (or a lot) lighter, and motivated to keep going into the fall.  I know I've been waning a bit on my motivation, but in the end I know that I want to get on my treadmill or head out for that long run or do my strength...I do still have Tough Mudder coming up in...OMG... 17 days.  *twitch twitch*  But I'm excited about it at the same time.  I rarely get myself worked up over a race or an event.   Ok, there was that freak out last December over 26.2 but we won't talk about that.
